Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 238 Another person

The volume of these words was quite loud, and Guan Zhicheng and Guan Ming were shocked at once.

A'He also tugged at Li Xin's sleeve in surprise and asked, "Then Brother Wei...is he really that powerful?"

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, two years ago when I was a scholar, I was about the same age as my sixth brother. I have been dormant for two years. This year, I should be more confident that I will go to the state capital to compete in the competition."

A-He nodded a little excitedly, then shrunk his neck in embarrassment.

It took a long while for Guan Zhicheng to react, and asked in disbelief: "Student, among the students, the lin student is... fifth?"

Guan Wen ignored him, walked up to Guan Ming and said, "Father, can you give me the eight characters of Amei's Geng Tie?"

Guan Ming also opened his mouth halfway and maintained a dazed state. Guan Wen called him again to call his soul back.

Seeing Guan Wen spread his hands in front of him, Guan Ming shook, took two steps back, swallowed, and said, "I, I didn't bring..."

"Then let the fourth brother bring it to me tomorrow."

Guan Wen didn't chase after him, and went around Guan Ming to enter the main room. Guan Zhicheng suddenly yelled, "No matter how talented you are, your family doesn't have money and you can't give much dowry. Big brother, don't let him be a scholar." Blinded!"

Guan Wen paused and turned to look at Guan Zhicheng.

The "jade crown" on his head is slightly crooked, the veins on his forehead are protruding, his eyes are wide open, and his face is really ferocious.

Guan Wen looked at him silently for a while, then said coldly: "You mean, the fame of a scholar is nothing?"

"It's not about the fame of a scholar, it's that you can't marry my sister just because he has a reputation as a scholar!" Guan Zhicheng said eagerly, "Even if you are a scholar, you don't necessarily have a future. Only a sister from a well-to-do family can live a good life - what kind of future is there to follow a poor scholar!"

Guan Wen looked at Guan Zhicheng with a cold face, and said, "Are you looking down on a scholar? Then you still spent money to buy a scholar's fame!"

Guan Zhicheng was frightened and took two steps back, Guan Ming hurriedly pulled him to protect him, and looked at Guan Wen with puffy eyes.

Ah He exclaimed, looked at his father and younger brother in doubt, then at Li Xin who was downcast, and finally looked at Guan Wen, cleverly not asking questions.

The seven brothers and sisters of the Guan family just didn't tell Ah He.Now everyone knows about this stuff.

This can be regarded as hitting Guan Zhicheng's weakness. Naturally, he can't whitewash himself, saying that he didn't buy fame.The iron-like facts are in front of him, he did take 50 taels of silver to go out...

Guan Wen looked at him coldly and said, "I haven't asked you yet, how did you get the money, and what happened to your marriage just now?"

Guan Zhicheng was speechless for a moment, grabbed Guan Ming's sleeve to force himself to gather himself, and then leaned into Guan Ming's ear and said a few words.

Then Guan Ming said: "Forget it! I don't care about sister's marriage! I don't care about your people's marriage, and you don't want to ask about your sixth brother's marriage, that's fair!"

Guan Wen had a cold face, and clenched his fists. He wanted to say something but he didn't say it. He just said in a calm voice: "Then you go back first. A-mei's geng post and horoscope will be brought by the fourth brother tomorrow."

He also reminded: "Father, don't blame me for saying ugly words first, if you delay giving it, I will come to ask for it directly."

The corners of Guan Ming's mouth twitched, he just kept nodding his head, and added with trembling words: "...My sister's marriage, dowry, etc... I still want it, bring it to her father and me..."

As he spoke, it seemed that he was really frightened by Guan Wen's cold appearance, and he hurriedly pulled Guan Zhicheng away. When going downhill, he didn't pay attention and slipped on a round stone, clutching his hands all the way Ass ran back to the old house.

Li Xin stood up, frowned and said, "Is the dowry really going to your father?"

Guan Wen sighed and said: "When the Wei family hired us, they must have been brought here to us. After today's incident, it's fine if Dad doesn't dare to come. If he still wants to ask for the dowry gift, he will come to us. Just pick a part and give it to him, it’s a good time to hide.”

Li Xin was not very happy, Guan Wen walked over and put his arms around her shoulders and said, "Don't worry about it, he is the elder after all, and we shouldn't go too far as the juniors, otherwise Dad will yell everywhere. , when the time comes, the village will say that the two of us are not filial. Get him something to send him away, and make him quiet."

"Then you don't care about your sixth brother's marriage?" Li Xin looked up at him: "Didn't your sixth brother say that his marriage will be settled, and I'm afraid your father will ask you to pay for it again."

"He is so capable, let him solve it by himself, I am too lazy to care."

After Guan Wen lost a sentence, he still seemed a little annoyed. Seeing that A'he was still looking at them, he couldn't say much, so he slurred a few words and walked away.

Then A-He asked Li Xin in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, sixth brother..." A-He lowered his voice even more: "Sixth brother's fame as a scholar was bought with money?"

Li Xin nodded, and Ah He sighed in great disappointment.

"What's wrong?" Li Xin asked.

A-He shook his head helplessly and said: "I still hoped that a promising brother from my mother's family would let me rely on him. If the sixth brother really has the ability to pass the exam and come back, I will also look good in my in-law's family, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law will definitely treat me better .did not expect……"

Li Xin reached out and patted Ahe's shoulder, letting Yang'er and the two tearful little girls play by themselves, and said to Ahe: "Don't think like this, everything depends on your mother's family, who knows that your mother's family sometimes It is also unreliable. The most important thing is not your natal family, but yourself and your own family."

A-He nodded, sighed and said: "I also know, why not rely on yourself..."

"That's right." Li Xin put his arms around her shoulders and persuaded her, "It's best if you can figure it out yourself."

But Ah He still cried: "But, but I'm counting with my fingers, he hasn't come to pick me up yet, so maybe he just made people stay at his mother's house and doesn't want to pick me up..."

Li Xin comforted her a few more words, muttering in her heart, why hasn't Luo Qiang come to pick up Ahe yet?

After another two days, the Jia matchmaker once again boarded the door of Guan's new house.

Li Xin welcomed her in politely, Jia Matchmaker said as usual that Wei's family is very good, this time Li Xin didn't evade, and graciously agreed.Matchmaker Jia was naturally also happy, and had a good chat with Li Xin, and even chatted with Ahe for a while after learning that Ahe was Amei's biological sister.

In the matter of getting married, a matchmaker will thread the thread in the middle, but Li Xin doesn't need to work too hard. Anyway, it's still early before marriage, so she can slowly prepare a dowry for Amei.It's just that she's been very worried about A-He recently, and as time goes by, A-He looks more haggard and irritable.

Matchmaker Jia had already gone back. It was getting dusk and the sun was setting. The people in Guan's new house were eating lunch in the main room when they heard Erhei calling.

Guan Wen put aside his job and went out to have a look. Isn't it his brother-in-law Luo Qiang who came up the slope?
Luo Qiang looked thinner, and his face was very haggard. It seemed that he had walked all the way here, and it was dusty, and it made people's nose sore.

Guan Wen originally wanted to scold him, but seeing him like this, he held back, and when Luo Qiang saw him, he pulled his sleeve like seeing his ancestor and asked, "Brother uncle, is Ah He at her mother's house?" Guan Wen then remembered that when he went to Lijia Village to look for a wife, he felt more sympathy for Luo Qiang's resentment, and sighed, "At home."

When Luo Qiang appeared in front of Ah He, it shocked Ah He a lot.

Of course, Ah He has always been looking forward to her boss coming to her. She had guessed Luo Qiang's appearance a long time ago, but she didn't expect that it took only four or five days. He hadn't eaten for several meals, but his eyes were frighteningly bright looking at her.

Seeing Luo Qiang, Guan Wu slapped the table and shouted: "Sister-in-law, you must be kind. My sister has been back to her mother's house for four or five days. Why do you want to find her?"

Luo Qiang smiled bitterly, A-mei took the initiative to go to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks to add, Li Xin added food to Luo Qiang, and said: "Sir, brother-in-law, sit down and take a breath, let's eat something." Then he said to Guan Wu : "Second brother, let the third brother-in-law eat it."

Luo Qiang thanked Li Xin, and sat down to eat. Although his movements were slowed down, he still looked like he was gobbling.

Guan Wu choked back when he reprimanded him, but his eyes on Luo Qiang were still somewhat unkind.

The big girl and the second girl tugged on Ahe's sleeve, looked at Luo Qiang and called him daddy.Luo Qiang choked for a moment, responded vaguely, turned his eyes away and started eating even more.

"Poor thing, I haven't eaten for several meals..."

At the old juncture, he clicked his tongue twice, and his mouth pursed.His teeth are not very good, and the food he eats is the softest, and sometimes he has to sip it.

After Luo Qiang finished eating, there was not much food left on the table.Luo Qiang put the bowl away, and said embarrassedly: "I made it in time for noon, I was afraid that it would be dark here, so I didn't have time to eat..."

Guan Wen paused and asked, "Why did you come at this time?" His words inevitably carried the meaning of reproach.

Luo Qiang looked at A'He, but A'He didn't look at her. He looked at the threshold of the main room, but his hand was tightly holding the hand of the big girl and the second girl, and the two little boys looked at her in a daze.

Luo Qiang sighed, but he didn't talk to A-He first, he took out a little bit of silver from his pocket for a long time, and put them all in front of Li Xin.

"This is..." Li Xin raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Luo Qiang said: "I agreed with my sister-in-law at the beginning, and the profit is one-fifth. This is the profit for my sister-in-law..."

Li Xin glanced at Ahe, and saw that although she didn't look back, she still moved her ears. She was listening to what Luo Qiang said, and couldn't help but smile in her heart. She was not polite, so she reached out to collect it, and asked Luo Qiang while collecting it: "Isn't the money all yours?" Dad is gone, where did you get the money for me?"

Luo Qiang laughed dryly, and said: "I... separated from my father and younger brother, and this came from the money saved by me and Ahe."

As soon as this sentence was said, Ah He turned around with a "huh", looked at Luo Qiang with wide eyes and asked, "What did you just say?"

Luo Qiang said solemnly: "I separated and went out alone."

A'He looked at him in a daze, as if he couldn't react.

Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Where do you live after the separation?"

Luo Qiang didn't say a word, and after a while he said: "First... move to my friend's house, and I'm still looking for a house recently..."

"You were kicked out by your father?" Ahe suddenly exclaimed, his voice doubled: "Did you get kicked out by your father and have no place to live? Otherwise, how could you save so much money and come to my mother's house for a long time?" I don’t even want to hire a car!”

Luo Qiang muttered, sighed and said, "Ah He, let's not talk about this..."

After all, this is the matter of the Luo family. Luo Qiang must have had a falling out with his father and was kicked out.He didn't want to expose his family's faults in front of his wife and family. Li Xin also understood, waved his hands and said, "Ahe, tell your own self in charge, sister, help sister-in-law clean up the table."

A-mei responded, Li Xin gave Guan Wen a wink, and Guan Wen said to Luo Qiang: "You are also tired from the journey, go to rest first, and talk about things tomorrow."

Luo Qiang thanked Guan Wen and Li Xin gratefully, and pulled Ahe out, and Ahe took him to Axiu's house.The big girl and the second girl followed closely behind.

Smash it at the old juncture, and said with a smile: "It's good now, San'er's head of the family has come to pick her up, and Xiao Qi's marriage has also been settled. Really, that Taoist Wang said it well, this mountain You are blessed, and you will be blessed if you live for a long time!"

Guan Wu helped Lao Guan back to the house, then fetched water to wash Lao Guan's face and feet, and after finishing his work, he came out and said to Guan Wen, "Brother, what's the matter with the third brother-in-law who separated from his family?"

Guan Wen said: "This is their Luo family's business, don't ask about it."

Then he asked Guan Wudao, "How's the house going?"

"The big structure and everything have come out, and there are still small places to fix." Guan Wu waved his hand: "Brother, don't worry about my house, I know where it is."

"It's good if you have a score yourself." Guan Wen asked with a smile: "How is your marriage with Xing'er doing now? Is Aunt Qian helping you?"

Guan Wu chuckled and said, "Yes, there are, but I still need sister-in-law's help here..."

Guan Wen nodded, "Your sister-in-law knows that Xing'er has a good relationship with her, so she will definitely help you get things done."

Guan Wu laughed, Guan Wen glanced at him and said, "Is there a happy event recently? You seem to be very happy every day."

Guan Wu scratched his head and said, "Brother, you gave the rocky land to the fourth brother, right? I mean those big rocks."

"Well, what happened?"

"I know the person who collected the stones that my fourth brother contacted." Guan Wudao: "Brother, do you still remember that time when I went to the beach of Dagui River to look for stones but didn't get any money?"

"I know." Guan Wen asked puzzledly: "Then it wasn't that the money was taken back, but they gave you more money?"

Guan Wu nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. An is very generous." Guan Wu smiled to Guan Wen: "The fourth brother contacted the stone maker, and the one who bought the most generous money was Mr. An. That's what I heard the other day. A few men who moved stones only found out about it, and then asked the fourth younger brother, it is really that Master An."

Guan Wen froze for a moment, nodded and said that he knew.

That night Guan Wen murmured about it with Li Xin.
